Shashi Tharoor expressed his displeasure on social media after Sanju Samson was left out of India's final ODI against New Zealand. Shikhar Dhawan's group was unimpressive in India's first innings of the third and final ODI against New Zealand, in which they scored 219 runs. The game was eventually called off due to heavy rain, allowing the hosts to win the ODI series.
Tharoor, a politician, is displeased with his decision not to include Sanju Samson in the game. With the exception of Shreyas Iyer and Washington Sundar, the batting unit was outfitted by Kiwi bowlers. Rishabh Pant came under fire after scoring 10 runs off 16 balls. Tharoor slammed the player, saying he needed a break from the white-ball cricket.
"Pant has done well at No. 4, so it is important to back him," says @VVSLaxman281. He's a good player out of form who's failed in ten of his last 11 innings; Samson averages 66 in ODIs, has made runs in all his last five matches & is on the bench. Go figure. @IamSanjuSamson," he tweeted.
"One more failure for Pant, who clearly needs a break from white-ball cricket. One more opportunity denied to @IamSanjuSamson who now has to wait for the @IPL to show that he’s one of the best too-order bats in India. #IndvsNZ," he added.
Here is Shashi Tharoor's tweet
Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer put on a crucial 94-run stand in the first ODI as wickets continued to fall. The player made 36 runs off 38 deliveries before the skipper dropped the keeper-batter in the next two games. Samson was benched despite being in excellent form to make room in the lineup for all-rounder Deepak Hooda. The decision was not well received by the audience.
Pant, on the other hand, has been under pressure since his ODI century against England in July because he hasn't been able to score many runs. He's having trouble getting his bat to talk, and he's clearly feeling the effects of his most recent performance.
